Ab-Soul is nothing less than a rap game shaman. With access to / influence in an intoxicated realm of good and evil spirits, there’s an air of trancelike ritual about this third-eye soldier’s.
17 Songs, 1 Hour 11 Minutes
EDITORS’ NOTES
Take a cue from biting tracks like 'Pineal Gland' and 'SOPA'—rapper Ab-Soul is as clever as he is crass, as sharp as he is straight-forward. Indeed, Control System is the high-concept dramedy to the unflinching drama of fellow Black Hippy member Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.A.A.d city. (The refrain from 'Mixed Emotions,' for example, is 'Who got a Sprite?') Ab's rhymes can be unapologetically out-there at times, such as when he's rapping about Sumerians or nodding to Seinfeld on 'Nothing's Something,' a song about, well, nothing. But a heart beats resoundingly at the center of Control System. You hear it most affectingly on 'The Book of Soul,' on which Ab mourns the suicide of ex-girlfriend Alori Joh; she guests on multiple tracks here.
